Elon Musk is old enough to remember John DeLorean — and the car he (briefly) made. He apparently does not remember the lessons DeLorean learned.
Now that’s a scam.

Roger Waters: Anti-Israel but pro-Russia
After years of trying to sell his Antisemitism and anti-Israel hate, Roger Waters has turned his attention to convincing the world of his feelings about the Russian invasion of Ukraine (Russia good, Ukraine bad).
Roger Waters, the man who broke up the band Pink Floyd, sang the above song on “Dark Side of the Moon,” one of the greatest albums ever. Note for some of you, who are in their 30s or younger when Dark Side came out, an album was a collection of audio recordings issued on a vinyl disc. packaged in a cardboard sleeve. “Dark Side of the Moon” holds the record for being on the Billboard top album/tape list longer than any other album in Billboard history, 969 weeks (18.5 years).
Grieving a daughter’s Covid death in Wuhan – while being surveilled
It’s been three years since Yang Min’s only child, Yuxi, died. The 24-year-old had been diagnosed with breast cancer and was admitted to hospital in mid-January 2020 in Wuhan, the Chinese city where the earliest coronavirus cases were detected.
Wuhan was the first place in China – and the world – to be locked down to stop the spread of Covid. The announcement came in the early hours of 23 January and it sent people, scared and uncertain, fleeing into the night.
That city-wide lockdown, lasting 76 days, would become integral to China’s zero-Covid playbook. The country has now scrapped the policy and recently announced that the current wave, driven by a hasty reopening, is drawing to a close.
‘Woke’ companies risk inciting ‘hostile’ public, research finds
Britons ‘cynical’ and ‘tired’ of attempts by big business to force political views on employees and customers, according to Policy Exchange
Corporate culture wars are making the public “hostile”, companies have been warned as a major piece of research is launched into the rise of “woke” in the workplace.
Britons are “cynical” and “tired” of attempts by big business to force political views on employees and customers, according to Policy Exchange.
New polling by the think-tank reveals that the majority of the public (58 per cent) reject the suggestion that companies should be able to demand that their employees declare gender pronouns.
“I was sold for $200 as a sex slave… And they say they’re oppressed because people can’t follow their pronouns they invent every day?”
North Korea defector compares woke US ideology, education to regime tactics
“They were in Manhattan, living in the freest country you can imagine, and they’re saying they’re oppressed? It doesn’t even compute,” Yeonmi Park told The Post of students at her alma mater, Columbia University. “I was sold for $200 as a sex slave in the 21st century under the same sky. And they say they’re oppressed because people can’t follow their pronouns they invent every day?”
The 29-year-old defected from North Korea as a young teen, only to be human-trafficked in China. In 2014, she became one of just 200 North Koreans to live in the United States — and, as of last year, is an American citizen.
‘Unidentified object’ downed over Lake Huron, 3rd this week
WASHINGTON (AP) — An “unidentified object” was shot down Sunday for the third time in as many days, this time over Lake Huron, after earlier ones in Alaska and Canada, U.S. officials said.
Rep. Elissa Slotkin, D-Mich., tweeted that “the object has been downed by pilots from the U.S. Air Force and National Guard.” The shootdown was confirmed by two U.S. officials who were not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke on condition of anonymity.
U.S. and Canadian authorities had restricted some airspace over the lake earlier Sunday as planes were scrambled to intercept and try to identify the object.

A Yale Professor Suggested Mass Suicide for Old People in Japan. What Did He Mean?
His pronouncements could hardly sound more drastic.
In interviews and public appearances, Yusuke Narita, an assistant professor of economics at Yale, has taken on the question of how to deal with the burdens of Japan’s rapidly aging society.
“I feel like the only solution is pretty clear,” he said during one online news program in late 2021. “In the end, isn’t it mass suicide and mass ‘seppuku’ of the elderly?” Seppuku is an act of ritual disembowelment that was a code among dishonored samurai in the 19th century.

Climate change start-up goes rogue releasing ‘mini volcanoes’ to cool atmosphere
Experts in geoengineering say sulphur particle launches set dangerous precedent for private companies to interfere with planet’s atmosphere
A Mexico-based startup will next week launch sulphur particles into the stratosphere in a “rogue” move to create a “mini-volcano” effect it says could help cool the planet.
The technique, known as stratospheric aerosol injection, mimics the impact of volcanoes by using a weather balloon to release sulphur, creating a cloud of particles that reflect the sun’s rays and have a cooling impact.
It is one of several geoengineering techniques being studied as a way to cool the planet to avoid breaching internationally agreed limits on global warming.

Why Is America Desperate to Talk to China After Balloon Intrusion?
“We believe in the importance of maintaining open lines of communication between the United States and the PRC in order to responsibly manage the relationship,” declared Brig. Gen. Pat Ryder, Pentagon spokesman, in a February 7 statement. “Unfortunately, the PRC has declined our request. Our commitment to open lines of communication will continue.”
Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin had tried to arrange a telephone conversation with China’s Defense Minister Gen. Wei Fenghe, after the February 4 shoot-down of the Chinese spy balloon, but the Chinese official refused to take the call.
